What a week it's been.
So much to talk about.
And so many things we can't talk about.

I'm sad they didn't show the reveal under Farrah's robe! at least I think there was a reveal; the black latex collar made it look like one.
Eureka and Valentina are standouts I reckon, it'll be interesting to see if Kimora and Aja can do anything interesting next week.

I can see that. My guess was Trinity K. Bonet but yours makes more sense.

After a long night of hooking, trade didn't like the session, so he had gutted me and set me on fire, but, you know, I didn't die. I had crystallized, and now I'm a glamazon bitch ready for the runway.

That doesn't make sense though, considering she won her season and thus has no reason to come back. I'm guessing a more recent queen

My response: In her interviews today, she was talking about how sad it is that season 1 is billed as the forgotten season, how it's hard to find, and that none of the season 1 queens make a lot of money because they aren't as well known as queens from pretty much any other season.

Edit: And hey. On Survivor, Sandra has won twice, and is back for a third time.

I'm a bit worried about Jaymes Mansfield's edit :ohdear: I've seen a couple of her videos and I really like her, but she seems like an early out.

EDIT: ^^^ Oh, that does make sense then! That would be really cool, actually.

:colbert: Valentina should have won the crown. I loved the Georgia peach, but I though Nina's Lady Gaga was kind of pedestrian. I've seen Halloween costumes that do that, only without the chest plate.

Also, THANK GOD ROSS IS THE JUDGE!!! Todrick sucked beyond the telling; hearing Ross make joke after joke about the hot dog drag was epic.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

Bless Eureka's reaction to meeting Gaga, I wonder if we'll hear more about that on Untucked?

Also now I wish we could have Gaga every so often, her comments were so on point and her criticism constructive. I like how she remembered something about all of those outfits in terms of the designers or circumstances she wore it for. Also it was cute to see a wide shot and how her feet only made it halfway down the chair :3:

I'm here for Peppermint and Nina, it'll take me a few weeks to warm up to anyone else.

This is my guess, too, especially given the circumstances around her leaving the show if memory serves.

Valentina blew me away. She could have been obnoxious, but she was totally bringing Paris is Burning realness to me. Her interview look was total late 80s early 90s gay. I was living for it. And she's only been doing drag for 8 months! That's insane, given that there is one queen who has auditioned for every single season. I'm sure that's going to be a plot point.

When Valentina said that she was a drag baby I thought she was going to be some early episode chaff to be discarded... and then she took the runway and nailed it.

Meanwhile, Jaymes... :tpir loss horns:

No drinking tonight, I have to workout in the morning. I wish I were at a bar when Shae came out in that Chicago Dog outfit, I'm sure the bar exploded when that happened.

That was fun! Gaga didn't disappoint and I'm glad no one went home.

Contestant-wise:
Valentina :swoon: Her and Nina are my faves so far.
All of the cast seem pretty likeable and there's no Bob/Raja/Bianca-esque standouts that are obviously going to steamroll the competition which is refreshing. Jaymes kinda seems like she wasn't ready for the show though :( Hopefully she can pull it together next ep.

I thought this episode was a bit muted but I guess that's because it was establishing the season, introing the 14th queen & was really mostly just about Gaga being on it.
I'm agreeing it's going to be sad to watch Jaymes get murdered. Every season there's someone who just wasn't ready (Leila McQueen etc) and it's always so sad :(

Kate Bush has been my diva-extravaganza #1 since I was 16 and I'm 32 now; I'm also an art historian. Naturally, I will be stanning for Kate Bush-performing art queen Sasha Velour. I encourage everyone to do the same. Charlie Hides and Nina Bo'nina Brown are also acceptable choices. No objections to Nina's win (yay peach headress!), but points should have been deducted because her makeup was a little grotesque up close.

If what Aja showed off was in fact saffron-dyed fur, to be able to afford that, and live in New York (even if it is Brooklyn), I can only assume she must either have a trust fund or a sugar daddy. Both options annoy me. In truth, she probably bought it second-hand. Still annoyed. Jaymes needs to ditch the trashy = funny tactic yesterday. I want better for her. There's so much going on with Kimora's drag, but it all feels so...generic, somehow? We'll see. I will say that, judging from pictures, she was a way hotter boy before she did...that...to her cheeks.

Gaga was amazing.

Loved it all! I teared up when Eureka was talking to Gaga.

Very happy that Nina won. I've liked her since the promos.

So far my favorites are Nina, Eureka, Sasha and Valentina.

Aja completely underwhelmed me. Maybe because she was talked up so much. She seems super full of herself and man, I can't get behind wearing real fur.

Everyone else was mostly meh to me. Jaymes was wow bad. I know she's a comedy queen but maybe I was missing the jokes? What was her deal with the sleepy stumble on the runway?

Man I hate that there's a week between shows.

This but I find Aja obnoxious in an incredibly entertaining way, excellently punctuated by how busted her makeup is.

e: loving this Untucked. It's a really good episode so far and I say that as someone who isn't a fan of the format change from 7 on. Gaga is making it all worth it tho.

Thank god they've finally made this show easy to watch! I can easily just click onto Netflix here in the UK or Stan in Australia and I can watch it with no troubles. Only took 10 seasons!

Meanwhile, loved the episode. I wish the Ronnie facade was kept up longer. It was amazing. I didn't like Eureka hijacking Gaga's entrance and immediately making Gaga all about him.

As for early boots, it really has to be Jaymes.

I wish she had been Ronnie more because uh, butch Lady Gaga has always done it for me.

I can't believe no one is commenting on how good 'Blonde Benet Glamsey' is.

But yeah, Sasha and Shea both seem like front runners already, they really seem to know what they're doing. Plus I love Sasha's eyebrows. Bummed that this episode seemed so...barebones. Hopefully next episode is back to the same old. Worried for Jaymes, too...I thought she was so cute in her Meet the Queens clip, I hope she does better than this.

It's weird that they changed the main stage set. Does anyone else think so?

I was stanning for Kim Chi last season so apparently I'm good at picking out first episode winners. I'm also surprised she got away with saying her full name on the air.

Sad that there was no lip sync, but it seemed like a big intro episode with the 14th queen announcement and the runways. Looking forward to the rest of the season!

Didn't she say that she's become friends with all the top designers in New York, and they give her all sorts of free poo poo

But yeah, she is obnoxious, and her makeup is terrible. But I suspect that might be partly because she is trying to cover up the acne scars, which I imagine would be a difficult challenge. We'll see if the biggest drag queen in Brooklyn can actually bring it. I'm hesitant so far given the fact that they have two other stand out New York queens, Peppermint with personality for days, and Sasha who is an incredible performer.

She is SPECTACULAR on Insta with the makeup game, also seems like a really sweet person, but miiiight not be able to deliver on the runway so much as the competition wears on. Idk I love her.

I thought the top 3 was... alright? They were good, but I thought there were other looks with more impact. Like, Trinity's AHS look is incredible, and Valentina completely served both looks. She's seriously only done this for ten months? She looks polished as poo poo.

That said I'm liking Nina from the get-go, she's gonna be a fun one to watch. Jaymes makes me smile, but I agree with Gaga that currently it's like she hasn't found her act yet. I hope she finds her footing soon, I wanna see more of her:ohdear:

The thing with Valentina is that she's been performing for 10 months. She seems like the type who's been perfecting her look and aesthetic in private for much much longer than that.
